Revio was founded in 2020 to help businesses collect more revenue, through reducing payment failures and recovering lost revenue. Through a single API, we optimise merchants’ payment stacks with locally-optimised payment methods and smart payment routing, failover, and retries. We understand that there is more to getting paid than accepting payments, and believe that how you engage customers when trying to collect a failed payment is as important as when you are trying to acquire them. Our Recovery solution builds on this insight, empowering businesses with data-driven omnichannel interaction workflows to recover at-risk revenue from their customers. Today, we’re helping some of Africa's largest brands and fastest-growing startups increase their revenue through increased payment success rates, customer retention, and lifetime value. Locally grounded but globally relevant, we aim to be the go-to revenue recovery and growth partner for businesses across emerging markets.
